Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 54

O God, hear my prayer,
listen to the cries of my heart.

By Your strength, uphold me,
by Your love, rescue me.

The proud rise against me,
those who seek only themselves stand in opposition.

They have no thought of You, O Lord,
their hearts chase after their own gain.

But You are my helper, O God,
my refuge in every storm.

You uphold those who trust in You,
turning aside the plans of the unkind.

With a heart full of gratitude, I offer my praise,
for You have lifted me from distress.

In Your faithfulness, You have rescued me,
and I stand secure in Your light.
